Santa...A Rugger?

December 27, 2025

Now that the holiday rush has settled, let’s consider an important question: would Santa be good at rugby?

Short answer: Absolutely. A menace.

Elite strength. Low center of gravity. Relentless work rate. Team-first mindset. Coaches would build a pack around him.

Position?

  • Tighthead in the cold.
  • Number 8 on a good day.
  • Veteran hooker with serious leadership vibes.

Weaknesses?

  • Top-end speed.
  • Milk-and-cookies discipline.

Verdict: Santa’s not just a rugby player—he’s a club legend who still buys the first round after the match.

Share this with your "Santa" teammate.

Youth Rugby Initiative's Impact

Since launching YRI in 2024, we’ve introduced flag rugby to more than 450,000 students across 1,000+ elementary and middle schools nationwide. And these numbers are growing.

Did Santa bring a rugby kit to your local school? If not, consider giving the gift of rugby to a school near you, such as this one in Washington.
